Re: [TRAD GNU] GNU french translations coodinator

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL <mengualjeanphi AT free.fr>]

Hi,

Sorry to answer so late, but I've really an enormous activity and some
mails are forgotten sometimes. Really sorry.

Only to say that if it is necessary, traduc.org organization can also
help the project. Coordinating the translations is exactly our purpose.
We can become a regular coordinator, thanks our infrastructure, but also
via a single person. As we're not very much people, we don't have the
capability to be very active, but if we work together with framalang and
we only have to coordinate and help a little, we can bring something.
Our main activity focuses on translation free software and free software
docs into French. (cf. manpages or Perkamon, and a lot of other
projects).

So don't hesitate to explain the exact needs, the task of regular
coordinator, and I think we will be able to help, at least from English
to French, at especially in coordinating. We would be pleased to help.
Of course, we cannot do that alone, but if there's frama's support, it's
a good point of starting.

Sincerely,


Jean-Philippe MENGUAL
